The pace bowler was part of the India Test team that played three Tests from January 5 to January 27 in South Africa, post which he is believed to have visited Dubai but the reason for the same isn't yet known.

Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami has found himself in all sorts of troubles since returning to India from South Africa's Test tour. The cricketer's wife has alleged him of several crimes including, domestic abuse, attempt to murder and even match-fixing. With the police assuring that a thorough probe will be done into the matter before they reach to any conclusions, as part of the investigation, the Kolkata police has already asked the Board of control for Cricket in India (BCCI) as to why did Shami go to Dubai after the South Africa tour, as alleged by his wife Hasin Jahan. Kolkata Police is investigating Shami under several sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) – 307 (attempt to murder), 498-A (subjecting a woman to cruelty) and 376 (punishment for rape) – based on his wife's complaints.

Hasin claimed that Shami has an extra-marital affair with a Pakistani woman, to meet whom he had gone to Dubai. More so, the woman named Alishba supposedly gave Shami some money for fixing. The pace bowler was part of the India Test team that played three Tests from January 5 to January 27 in South Africa, post which he is believed to have visited Dubai but the reason for the same isn't yet known.

“We have sent a letter to the BCCI and (we are) waiting for their response. We have sought details of his (Shami) tours and routes. We are yet to receive any response from the body”, Joint Commissioner of Kolkata Police (Crime) Praveen Tripathi was quoted as saying by the Indian Express.

Shami’s family, meanwhile, is still said to be hoping for a possible amicable settlement and they have reportedly already held one meeting with Hasin's lawyer, although, the meeting is believed to have ended in stalemate. The two parties are expected to sit in front of each other once again.

Shami, one of the Indian Team's most experienced bowlers, has been accused of having multiple affairs by his wife and the whole controversy also forced the BCCI to leave him out of the list of players to be handed new central contracts.
